When you turned on your Android device for the first time, you were prompted to add your Google account to it. This account is used to log you in to the Play Store, but also logs you in to your Gmail account. You can add multiple Google accounts to your Android gadgets, so you can manage all your business emails using a single device. Unfortunately, you can’t log out of Gmail on an Android phone without removing the Google accounts. You can add the accounts later if you need to log in to Gmail.
